Namespace and broader/transitive ... would like to see if we need more discussion there. Also ... talk about LC schedule. When will drafts be available and reviewers. ... Discussion of namespace issue. ... Is there reason to review our decision? Alistair: Sent an email last week. ... Trying to think what pros and cons of each approach are. ... -> [28]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008Jul/0034.h tml ... A move to a new namespace has little upside and a lot of downside. ... stick to old has advantages. All the existing stuff can be claimed as implementations of ... SKOS. Also tools that are there already. A new namespace means we have to wait for implementation ... plus there will be a period of time while people migrate, which could take years. ... Realistically means tool developrs have to maintain multiple implemetations. ... Bottom line is that there is little gain from a new namespace and a cost involved. ... Assumed that the LC would use the new namespace, but marked as "at risk". ... Would appreciate comments. [28] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008Jul/ 0034.html Guus: I see objections, but no need to reopen the issue. Alistair: Under what circumstances would we need to reopen the issue? Guus: if we reopen, we can't go to LC. ... saw one comment that the change in semantics requires a new namespace (Simon Spero) Alistair: unsure whether to take this comment. There may be some misunderstanding of transitive. Guus: Happy to mark it as "at risk". Alistair: Ok Antoine: Would like to discuss ISSUE 83. Semantics of concept scheme containment ... some problems with the implementation. Alistair proposes a new property to capture the ... semantics. Guus: This seems rather drastic at this point. <Antoine> [29]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008Jul/0036.h tml [29] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008Jul/ 0036.html <Antoine> -> start of the thread Alistair: I think this is less drastic. <aliman> [30]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008May/0068.h tml [30] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008May/ 0068.html <aliman> ex:cs skos:hasTopConcept ex:c. Alistair: Email above contains resolution to the issues. Email merely states an entailment. <aliman> entails the graph: <aliman> ex:c skos:inScheme ex:cs Alistair: want to follow this entailment, but resolution doesn't state how we go about making this happen. ... Spent some time thinking and what we're trying to say is that skos:hasTopConcept has an inverse which is a ... subproperty of skos:inScheme ... Most obvious way to express this is to name the inverse and then state it explicitly. ... if we don't name it then it requires an anonymous property. This ... could be a potential problem. Would appreciate input from Jeremy. Jeremy: OWL2 may be about to allow anonymous properties. One issue is that it pushes ... you out of OWL DL. Can't use the anonymous property in a triple (not as predicate). ... so in terms of describing the relationships, there's nothing particularly wrong, but implementations ... may find it difficult. Procedurally, putting in an anonymous property may cause trouble, ... but a new property might also cause problems. Guus: But other things are not stated in the data model. Alistair: There are two constraints expressed as prose, but there is no way to do that in ... RDF or OWL. Here, it *is* possible to do it. ... Would avoid complication of anonymous properties. Guus: Only require inverse of hasTopConcept or inScheme. ... topConceptOf would do the trick. Alistair: Called it topConceptInScheme in Ref. Guus: awful name! Alistair: Subjective view. Not really worried about the naming. Jeremy: is the intention to document the relationship within OWL. Could one include this in ... a separate file with a seeAlso. Alistair: If we can do it without jumping through hoops, why not do it? Guus: Surprised that other constraints can be expressed in RDF. Alistair: All but two current. Would be three with this one. Guus: WHat's the problem with three rather than two? Alistair: For this one, we could do it. Guus: But only at the cost of new vocabulary. Alistair: But non-standard semantics is also costly. Antoine: Can't see why my axiom is not valid OWL Alistair: Entailments that follow are not valid RDF. Jeremy: There is a bug with RDF (ter Horst). Significant problems and adding an anonymous ... property would exercise that bug. Would advise against it. Antoine: That's the argument I was looking for. ... Also assume a bug in the OWL specification then. Jeremy: There is a need for a bug fix. But will not be done any time soon. Guus: We're not going there. Jeremy: Cost of new predicate vs. non-standard. New predicate is cheaper. ... preference would be to say nothing. Guus: small cost with a small group. Sean: preference for new predicate. Guus: Suggest that Reference Editors make a proposal for this. ... Will reopen ISSUE 83, but expect a proposal to close with a new property. Alistair: Do we need to open the issue? Guus: yes, need documented rationale. ... alternative is to open new issue and immediately propose closing it. ... That might be better. ... for me topConceptOf would be an appropriate name. ... Propose a new issue which is then closed. ACTION: Alistair to open issue relating to topConceptOf and propose a resolution. [recorded in [31]http://www.w3.org/2008/07/29-swd-minutes.html#action12] [31] http://www.w3.org/2008/07/29-swd-minutes.html#action12 Guus: Any more w.r.t content? Antoine: happy Guus: Margherita reviewed, but reviewed the old draft. ... chance for a new draft next week? Alistair: Think so. Resolutions to things are done. Need to mark at rsik and some editorial stuff. Guus: Earliest possible for LC decision is August 19th. ... problem for Guus as on holiday. Could review but only in next two days. Alistair: Have to finish this week. Guus: Could do it if it's there by Friday. Alistair: Could provide a link which will be pretty much the version we publish. Guus: Can expect cmments by the 12th, one week for discussion and a decision about LC ... on the 19th. ... would be preferable if at the same point we have a primer draft consistent with the Reference. Antoine: Feasible apart from action on co-ordination. ... Version of the primer for the 19th? Guus: Would also like to take a decision about publishing primer on 19th. ... agenda item for next week will be scheduling. ... also need to discuss LC period given that ... publishing will take a few days. 5-6 week period is appropriate. ... end September/beginning October. Sean: some traffic on the list about broader/broaderTransitive. Guus: no new arguments there. No real evidence to reopen this. Alistair: i'd agree. Concerned about how many people misunderstand this. ... not a technical problem, but perhaps some confusion with names. ... its a shame that people are misunderstanding this. Sean: Question of education rather than technical details. Antoine: Whatever the names, the pattern will be the same, and that's ... hard for people to get. Guus: Will pay attention to this. Jeremy: Is a simple example more accessible? Parent/Ancestor etc? Sean: is the reference an appropriate place for this? Antoine: Could put some drawings in the primer. Alistair: Antoine's slide at the SKOS event was very clear. Antoine: Animated. Guus: Could make snapshots. Guus: Parent/ancestor is already a long way towards this.
